Did Captain Fritz show Mr Oswald a Mauser?

[John Iacoletti]

Oswald: That's it, it's all over now. I'm not resisting arrest! WHAM! BAM! POW!

Yeah, like that actually happened.

[Bill Chapman]

Yeah, like that actually happened.

Oswald: I said it so it must be true.
JudgeJohnny: NO YOU DIDN'T! YOU'RE LYING!
Oswald:

Says the guy who thinks things are true just because he says them.

Colossally ignorant.

No one saw John Wilkes Booth pull the trigger by the application of contrarian logic.  They just heard a "bang" and looked to see Booth holding a smoking pistol at the moment Lincoln was killed.  So there must be doubt via contrarian logic that he did it.  And "Booth's pistol" LOL.  Forget about it.  There is no documentation linking Booth to the "alleged" murder weapon much less a photo of him holding it or any prints.  And "chain of custody" LOL. The pistol wasn't found until well after the event.  There are conflicting accounts on who even found it.   Eyewitnesses were inconsistent in identifying Booth as the assassin.  Some said they were certain.  Others that it only looked like him.  That means doubt in the contrarian mind.  What was Booth's motive?  The war is practically over.  He was a well respected actor.  Why would he do it in theatre where he would be recognized with little hope of escape?  No one can say for sure. That means doubt.  Booth's handwritten diary confessing to the crime?  LOL.  It COULD have been forged.  Handwriting analysis is not a science in contrarian lore.  Booth was "silenced" before we could know the whole story.  Imagine what our resident contrarians would make of Boston Corbett who killed Booth in direct violation of his orders.  A man who self-castrated himself with a pair of scissors.  In the end there are no facts and evidence that prove Booth's guilt using contrarian logic.   Just endless contrarian rabbit holes.

There are no cults about Oswald, Bill. Quite honestly, the man never got his day in court. Any good defense lawyer would have been able to reveal discrepancies in his case. I don't know where you're from, but here in the U.S., all people are innocent until proven guilty. The Warren Report is not a document that sprouted from a full-fledged courtroom trial with the living accused in attendance.

This forum is not a court of law, nor even a platform for formal debate. No ivory tower, this.

This case is a slam dunk. A good defense team would advise Oswald to plead out.

And what some call 'discrepancies', others might call minutia.
